Not much point in doing that, unfortuantely, as you still need a C compiler and make utility to make use of Inline::C.

It's better to install the compiler and make utility first (eg run 'ppm install mingw' for dmake/gcc - or install one of the free MS compilers if you prefer to be using nmake/cl) and then build Inline::C from CPAN source. If the build succeeds then you're right to go.

Assuming you have ActivePerl, first run ppm install mingw, then run cpan -i Inline::C.

That should do it (unless your earlier attempts to install nmake pose a problem). If you have any trouble with that, let us know what has gone wrong. (Also take note of the help provided by the other conrtributors to this thread.)
